S2 Description

The S2 2D imager has been specifically created to meet the market demand for

omnidirectional

reading performance on virtually all codes at an affordable price. Elegant design details are incorporated into a smaller, balanced lightweight enclosure without sacrificing AirTrack’s well-known durability.

Ideally suited for applications at the point-of-sale (POS), the S2 imager features a new illumination and aiming system developed with the unique intent to reduce visual stress of the operator during the daily scanning activities. It consists of a soft, dark red illumination combined with two blue LED triangles pointing at the targeted bar code. The result is a precise aiming system which contributes to low eye fatigue, yet still allows top operator efficiency.

Constructed with a combination of design and performancebased ideals such as bar code reading snappiness, motion tolerance, perfect ergonomics and an attractive price, this 2D imager is the ideal solution for the customer who is looking to replace their linear only reading scanners with image-based technology.

OmniDirectional Operating

To read a symbol simply aim the reader and

pull the trig ger. The S2 imager is a powerful omnidirectional reader, so the

orienta

tion of the

symbol is not

important.

AirTrack’s exclusive patented ‘Green Spot’

for good-read feedback helps to improve productivity

in noisy environments or in

situations

where

silence is required. When using

the product

with

the cradle at a 45° position, the

aiming pattern

can

work as an aiming system to

aid in positioning

the

bar code for quick and

intuitive

reading.

Setting Up the

Reader

Decoding

Reliably decodes all standard 1D (linear) and 2D bar codes, including GS1 DataBar™ linear codes,

Postal

Codes (China Post), Stacked Codes (such as

GS1

DataBar Expanded Stacked, GS1 DataBar

Stacked,

GS1 DataBar, Stacked Omnidirectional). The

data

stream — acquired from decoding a symbol —

rapidly sent to the host. The reader is immediately available to read another

symbol.

Setting Up the Reader

Follow the steps below to connect and get your reader up and communicating with its host.

1. Connect the Cable to the reader and the Host.

2. Configure the Interface (see page 5).

3. Configure the Reader starting on page 13 (optional, depends on settings needed).

Type

A beam illuminates the label. The projected pattern of the aiming system will be smaller when the reader is closer to the bar code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit.

If the aiming system is centered you will get a good read. Successful reading is signaled by an audible tone plus a goodread green spot LED indicator.

Reference the S2 Product Reference Guide (PRG) on the AirTrack website for more information about this feature and other programmable settings.

Selecting the Interface Type

Upon completing the physical connection between the reader and its host, proceed directly to Interface Selection below for information and programming for the interface type the reader is connected to (for example: RS-232, Keyboard Wedge, USB, etc.) and scan the appropriate bar code to select your system’s correct interface type.

Programming

The reader is factory-configured with a set of

standard

default

features. After scanning the interface bar code from the Interfaces section, select other options and customize your reader through use of the programming bar codes available in the S2 PRG. Check the corresponding features section for your interface, and also the Data Editing and Symbologies chapters of the PRG.

Using Programming Bar Codes

This manual contains bar codes which allow you to reconfigure your reader. Some programming bar code labels, like the "Reset Default Settings" on page 13, require only the scan of that single label to enact the change.

Other bar codes require the reader to be placed in Programming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code once to enter Programming Mode; scan the desired parameter settings; scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code again to accept your changes, which exits Programming Mode and returns the reader to normal operation.

Configure Other Settings

Additional programming bar codes are available in the PRG to allow for customizing programming features. If your installation requires different programming than the standard factory default settings, refer to the PRG.

Resetting Product Defaults

If you aren’t sure what programming options are in your reader, or you’ve changed some options and want your custom factory settings restored, scan the bar code below to reset the reader to its initial configuration. Reference the PRG for other options, and a listing of standard factory settings.

Factory defaults are based on the interface type. Be sure your reader is configured for the correct interface before scanning this label. See "Selecting the Interface Type" on page 4 for more information.

Operating

Modes

The imager can be set to operate in one of several scanning modes. See the PRG for more information and settings for any of the options:

Trigger Single (Default) —

This mode is associated with typical handheld reader operation. When the trigger is pulled, illumination is turned on and the scanner attempts to read a label. Scanning is activated until one of the following occurs:

• the programmable “maximum scan on time”1 has elapsed

• a label has been read

• the trigger is released

Trigger Pulse Multiple —

Scanning begins when the trigger is pulled and continues after the trigger is released, until the trigger is pulled again or until the programmable “maximum

scan on time”1 has elapsed. Reading a label does not disable scanning. Double Read Timeout1 prevents

undesired multiple reads while in this mode.

Trigger Hold Multiple —

When the trigger is pulled,

scanning starts and the product scans until the trigger is released or “maximum scan on time”1 has elapsed.

Reading a label does not disable scanning. Double Read Timeout1 prevents undesired multiple reads while in this

mode.

Always On —

The illuminator is always ON and the reader

is always ready for code reading. Double Read Timeout

prevents undesired multiple reads.

Flashing —

The reader illuminator flashes on and off

regardless of the trigger status. Code reading takes place only during the Flash On2 time. Double Read Timeout

prevents undesired multiple reads.

Object Detection —

The scanner looks for changes within its field-of-view. The Aiming Pattern is always on to show the optimum reading area. If a predefined amount of movement is detected, the red illumination switches on. Scanning continues until a label is read or "maximum scan on time" is reached.

1. See the Product Reference Guide (PRG) for these and other programmable features

2. Controlled by Flash On Time and Flash Off Time. Use the PRG to program these options.

LED and Beeper Indications

The reader’s beeper sounds and its top multicolour LED illuminates to indicate various functions or errors on the reader. An optional “Green Spot” also performs useful functions. The following tables list these indications. One exception to the behaviors listed in the tables is that the reader’s functions are programmable, and so may or may not be turned on. For example, certain indications such as the power-up beep can be disabled using programming bar code labels.
